Explore Garfield, Washington, with this interactive street and satellite map.
This page also offers TOPO MAPS — the official USGS topographic sheets — plus USGS aerial imagery, a labelled USNG grid overlay, a distance and bearing tool, and a GPS grid-reference readout. See How to Use This Map below.
This interactive map shows the street layout and satellite imagery for Garfield, Washington. Use the Map and Satellite buttons above to switch between street map and aerial imagery views. Use the + and − buttons to zoom in or out, or scroll your mouse wheel while holding the Control key to zoom. On a touchscreen, use a two-finger pinch gesture. Drag the map to pan to any area of Washington or beyond.
Click ⛶ Fullscreen to expand the map to fill your screen. To return to the normal page view, press the Escape key, click the ✕ Exit Fullscreen button that appears above the map, or on a mobile device tap the back button (Android) or the close icon (iOS).
TOPO MAPS — NEW. Click the green 🔍 Search Maps button below the map to open a second map with a Base map row offering three choices. OSM is the standard OpenStreetMap street map. Topo shows the official USGS topographic maps from The National Map — contours, hydrography, land cover and shaded relief, the same mapping used for hiking, hunting and back-country navigation in the Adirondacks, the Catskills and the Finger Lakes. Imagery shows USGS aerial photography, mostly 1-metre NAIP. The search box finds any US town, county or landmark by name, so you are not limited to Garfield.
Reading the map like a paper quad. Click Grid to overlay the U.S. National Grid (USNG), labelled along the edges exactly as a printed topographic sheet is — at normal zoom the squares are one kilometre across, so you can read a six-figure grid reference by eye and judge distance directly off the map. Click Measure, then tap two points, to get the distance between them together with the grid bearing in degrees and mils, the true bearing, and the magnetic bearing to set on a compass.
Click 📍 My position to take a single GPS reading from your device. It marks where you are and reports your position as a USNG grid reference as well as plain latitude and longitude — USNG being the format FEMA and US search and rescue teams work from — with a Copy position button so you can paste it straight into a text message. It takes one reading and stops, rather than tracking continuously, to conserve your battery. Note that map tiles need cell coverage, but a GPS reading does not — your coordinates stay correct even where the map itself cannot load.

Garfield sits amidst a vast expanse of undulating wheat fields that define the horizon in every direction. It lies 19.2 miles north of Pullman, WA (from Pullman, WA: bearing 5°T), and is situated 13.7 miles northeast of Colfax. Silver Creek carves a persistent, narrow path through the landscape, offering a brief, cool respite of riparian greenery that cuts through the golden, sun-bleached expanse of the Palouse. Four miles to the east, the silhouette of Ladow Butte rises as a singular, muted punctuation mark against the expansive sky, while the nearby City Park serves as a quiet center where the wind carries the scent of dry earth and ripening grain. During the harvest season, the light here turns a bruised, honeyed gold at dusk, illuminating the dust motes that dance in the wake of combines moving slowly across the distant, sweeping slopes of Turnbow Flat.
Garfield emerged from the expansion of the regional rail lines, serving as a vital node for the transport of the heavy yields produced by the fertile, silt-laden soil. The economy remains tethered to the rhythmic pulse of agriculture, where the prosperity of the inhabitants rises and falls with the success of the annual crop. Life in Garfield moves with the measured pace of a pendulum, shaped by the cycles of planting and threshing that have dictated the local tempo for generations. There is a stoic, functional beauty in the grain elevators that stand as sentinels over the tracks, remnants of a time when the rails were the primary veins of commerce. Even today, the quiet streets and the enduring patterns of work reflect a community that remains deeply anchored to the land, finding its identity in the steady, recurring labor of the harvest.

Search Maps opens a second, independent map. It searches OpenStreetMap for any US town, county or landmark by name; offers USGS topographic maps and USGS aerial imagery as base layers; overlays a labelled U.S. National Grid (USNG) so the map can be read like a printed topographic quad; measures distance and grid, true and magnetic bearings between any two points; and takes a single GPS fix reporting your position as a USNG grid reference and as latitude and longitude. Map tiles require cell coverage, but a GPS position does not, so the coordinates remain correct even where the map cannot load.
Location data is drawn from the USGS Geographic Names Information System (GNIS) and cross-verified against 2020 US Census records by coordinate proximity. Population figures are sourced from the 2020 US Census.
